Turns out that the keyboard was not recognizing the WIN key. Put another KB on, seemed to work now
 

Here is what I found:
I resize my kneeboard, using OVGME due to the position of my MFD monitors (below the main screen). Normally, the kneeboard for all aircraft show up half on the MFD and half on the main screen, which is unuseable.  I uses OVGME to move and resize the kneeboard so it shows properly. Apparently, the new update did something to the kneeboard for the F-15, as when I disabled OVGME, DCS didn't crash.  Unfortunately, that left me with an unuseable kneeboard for all of my aircraft.
This I fixed by COMPLETELY REWRITING my monitor config lua file to move the 2 MFDs to a different position, and changing my windows display layout and resolution.  MUCH pain, but at least I got it to work.

Fixed it.  2 corrupted files: device_init.lua and controlsindicator_page.lua.  Went to the backups, now renders correctly.

Well, seems like for whatever reason there is a setting buried deep in the CDU which turns toggles the course indicator (I found it while digging about in the CDU pages).  It had the HSI Course as "****" and an OFF indication.  I played with the buttons, got it turned on, it came up as 130.2 (I was actually on the ground after landing IN the mission and the voice-over started right away).
Interesting, I have found MANY similar instances of obscure, little-documented settings affecting the game like this.  Also, seems that this setting stayed as set when I went to other missions.  I'm in the process of finding out if other settings remain, such as HMCS occlusions etc

Well, how 'bout that.  Seems that the game does NOT like .PNG files for kneeboards, but is ok with .png files.  Go figure.  At least I can see the A-10A kneeboard now.  I'll have to check on the rest of the FC3 planes though.
